"The Superpower Research Department might have Orirocks, but there aren't many of them and we wouldn't sell them."
"As a matter of fact, some martial clans, martial arts sects with a long history, and nations might have Orirocks … but there's no market for them, and no one would sell them."
Jiang He did learn something from his conversation with Mu Wanqiu.
At the very least, he knew what Orirocks were.
This thing was the crystallization of the Cosmic Original Energy, which contained the purest Cosmic Original Energy. Most importantly, it also contained the "Power of Heaven and Earth", which was of great use to the cultivation of a Level Nine top expert.
Buy …
That would be a little difficult.
Others might not sell such a good item even if they had it in stock.
"This thing does feel like the spirit stones in novels, and it's the premium-grade kind."
"I might not be able to buy it. I'll have to ask around for Secret Realms or heritage site and see if I can get my hands on it." Jiang He breathed a long sigh. It seemed that the most important thing now was to find Orirocks.
Even if he could find one and try planting it, he might not have to worry about it in the future.
After seeing off Mu Wanqiu, Jiang He returned to the mansion.
Sora had already prepared dinner. Two plates of stir-fried beef wood ear were placed on the table, emanating a tantalizing aroma.
The meal was tasteless.
The problem of Orirocks was worrying.
Still, Jiang He was a little dazed after he finished eating.
"My body …"
He promptly closed his eyes and carefully felt out his body, noticing that his bones, flesh, and tendons had all improved, and his physique had strengthened a little.
After all, now that Jiang He had mastered Indestructible Diamond, in terms of physique alone, rank-nine martial artists would pale in comparison to others unless they were grandmasters who specialized in parallel training. In fact, most rank-seven grandmasters would not be able to hurt Jiang He even after half a day, even if Jiang He just stood there and let them hack at him.
And yet, his physique improved a little after eating just two plates of stir-fried beef wood ear. Even if the improvement was miniscule, it was frightening enough.
"Mutated black wood-ear …"
"Eating it replenishes the body with iron?"
Jiang He studied the mutated black wood-ear again, and could not help coming to a realization …
It turned out that the 'iron' in that thing was different from what was written. It did not mean that eating it would cure anemia, but that it really strengthened the body.
…
Meanwhile.
An off-road vehicle slowly entered Lingzhou City.
The driver had a strong aura. He was actually a Rank-6 martial artist …
In the back seat of the car was a middle-aged man in a black training suit. He looked to be in his forties, and his aura was restrained, giving people the feeling that he was no different from an ordinary person.
The middle-aged man leaned against the back seat, his eyes closed as he slept soundly, snoring loudly …
It was a little jarring.
The driver grinned. He was used to the snoring of the adult behind him, but it wouldn't be good if someone else heard it.
"Lord Zhou, we have arrived at Lingzhou City."
The driver shouted.
The middle-aged man opened his sleepy eyes and looked out the window.
"We've just entered the city and haven't reached the MAD yet, have we? I'm going to sleep for a while, wake me up when we reach the MAD at Lingzhou City … huff ~ "
The driver chuckled bitterly, and soon arrived at the MAD at Lingzhou City.
Just as he was about to wake "Lord Zhou" up, he found that the snoring had stopped. He turned around and saw Lord Zhou sitting upright. His back was perfectly straight, especially when paired with his black training clothes and shiny hair, he looked rather dignified.
After all, being the assistant to the highest authority in the MAD, he should have the presence of authority.
Noticing that the driver was left dumbstruck, Zhou Yu flatly asked, "What are you spacing out for?"
The driver came to his senses and quickly got off the car, opening the door with one hand guarding it as he said respectfully, "Lord Zhou, please get off."
Nearby, Duan Tianhe, Cheng Dongfeng, Chen Jingzhou, and the other core executives of Lingzhou City's MAD had come to greet him.
Chen Jingzhou laughed out loud. "Old Zhou!"
"Commander Chen!"
There were only so many rank-nines in the country, and they basically knew each other. Chen Jingzhou and Zhou Yu were naturally acquainted with each other since one was a military elite and the other a MAD elite.
"Welcome to our department, Deputy Zhou."
Duan Tianhe walked up and shook Zhou Yu's hand, who smiled. "Chief Duan, you've been doing quite well lately. I've been at Jingdu, receiving reports of Lingzhou City's victories until my hands are sore."
"It's all thanks to your guidance, Deputy Zhou."
"Don't forget to flatter me. Minister Wang himself said that you're a talent, Duan Tianhe."
Beside him, the corner of Cheng Dongfeng's mouth twitched.
Why are these two praising each other now? Feeling rather awkward with their bureaucratic tone, he promptly asked, "Deputy Zhou, did Minister Wang really praise Old Duan like that? I don't really believe it … "
Zhou Yu laughed out loud. "Minister Wang's exact words were: 'That wretch Duan Tianhe has average aptitude and martial arts talent, but he is quite serious about his work. Most importantly, he's lucky.'"
Guffaws echoed in the hall, and Duan Tianhe's face turned green.
That aside.
This sentence …
Sounded just like Minister Wang.
Come to think of it, Minister Wang was right. Lingzhou City had been plagued with turmoil recently, and if Jiang He had not suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the city would have fallen long ago. Duan Tianhe had also basked in Jiang He's limelight and was rewarded by headquarters several times.
Still, there was no doubting Duan Tianhe's ability. While the towns around Lingzhou City had yet to be relocated, everything was progressing in an orderly manner. The high-voltage electric fence outside the city was already set up, and the MAD's martial artist assessment system, mission system, as well as the excavation of civilian martial artists and Awakened were all being carried out well.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Yu glanced at Cheng Dongfeng and scolded, "Cheng Dongfeng, you little punk, you came all the way to Lingzhou City on official business. Did you even stay in Lingzhou City?"
"Wasn't it a little difficult here at Lingzhou City?"
Cheng Dongfeng scratched the back of his head.
In principle, he was a subordinate of the MAD.
Zhou Yu was merely scolding him on purpose, before adding, "Minister Wang said that you don't have to go back if you don't want to. Stay at Lingzhou City and help Duan Tianhe, and he's giving you a position as deputy chief of the MAD."
Cheng Dongfeng scowled. "What deputy? You're making it sound like I'm beneath Old Duan. I don't want that title, just raise my salary and benefits."
"By the way, I've already ascended to rank-seven grandmaster. Didn't the MAD announce a policy to give grandmasters free housing? Do I still have my quota … "
How much did a house cost?
For a Martial Dao Grandmaster, killing a few Ferocious Beasts was enough.
Still, since it was Cheng Dongfeng who spoke, everyone understood. After all, he was Cheng Dongfeng who loved money more than his life!
The group chatted as they walked, and it was only when they reached Duan Tianhe's office that Zhou Yu said seriously, "Actually, I've come to Lingzhou City mainly to meet Jiang He. Minister Wang is very interested in the brat, so please notify him to meet me, Chief Duan."
Taking out his phone, Duan Tianhe went outside to call Jiang He.
On the other hand, Cheng Dongfeng had a weird look on his face and was hesitant to say something.
Ask Jiang He to meet you?
Why did it feel like with Jiang He's personality, you wouldn't meet him even if you went there personally if you pissed him off …
And just as he expected.
Duan Tianhe returned a minute later, smiling awkwardly. "Deputy Zhou, nobody's answering Jiang He's phone. Should I contact him tomorrow?"
Pfft!
Cheng Dongfeng could not help laughing out loud.
Nobody's answering?
Like hell I'd believe you. Jiang He would probably just say 'no' and hang up on you, wouldn't he?
…
At Jiang He's house.
On the third floor of his mansion.
Jiang He was leaning by the side of the swimming pool, completely treating the eighty-square-meter indoor pool as a bathhouse. Putting down his phone, he was a little speechless.
Who was it again?
He didn't hear it clearly … but he actually asked him to meet him personally. Who do you think you are?
